Not too serious a suggestion, but if migration worked once to escape the PRC why not do it again. Move all your industries offshore to an enclave or possibly several in friendly neighboring countries and then your population. I mean the population isnt so large that it’s not technically impossible to relocate. it’s not much more than some of the largest world cities. Then when invaded withdraw entirely. Anyone happy to live under Chinese rule can stay. Given climate change humanity is probably going to have to get used to massive migrations anyway. Horrible as that could be culturally being a semi independent part of another democracy would fix their declining population, plus being a massive economic stimulus all round. I suspect something like this may be happening informally anyway. Their main strength is economic and organizational so why not build on that.
